'Star Trek: Section 31' is a 2025 American science fiction television film by director Olatunde Osunsanmi and writer Craig Sweeny for the streaming service Paramount+. It is the first television film, and the fourteenth overall, in the Star Trek franchise and part of executive producer Alex Kurtzman's expanded Star Trek Universe. A spin-off from the TV series Star Trek: Discovery, the film is set in the franchise's "lost era" between Star Trek: The Original Series films and the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Philippa Georgiou is the focus of the film as she is paired with Section 31, a secret branch of Starfleet that has its mandate to protect the United Federation of Planets, and confronted with dealing with the past.

Michelle Yeoh reprised her Discovery role as Georgiou. Development on a spin-off series with Yeoh was launched in January 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, yet another spin-off of Discovery, was then prioritized. Section 31 was reworked into a film, which was validated in April of 2023. Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson, Robert Kazinsky, Kacey Rohl, Sven Ruygrok, James Hiroyuki Liao, Humberly Gonzalez, and Joe Pingue join them. The filming took place in Toronto, Canada, between January and March 2024. CBS Studios produced the movie in association with Secret Hideout, Action This Day! and Roddenberry Entertainment.

'Star Trek: Section 31' was released on Paramount+ on January 24, 2025. Critically, it was received mostly negatively and was by some considered the worst Star Trek film.
